****__1. Bake with it.__You can use it in place of milk, buttermilk, even cream for a healthier, tangier flavor.

2. Use it in place of sour cream. My fave: plain, 2% Greek yogurt topped on Mexican dishes in place of the sour cream.

10. Make creamy salad dressing: According to the National Yogurt Association, turn a bottle of vinaigrette into a homemade creamy dressing by adding 2-3 tablespoons of plain yogurt per cup of dressing.

11. Use it to cool an itchy scalp. Leave plain yogurt on for 15 minutes, say some experts, then wash. It may help reduce itchiness and dandruff.

__12. Use in potato salad,__in place of the mayo.

13. Make pie out of it. My mom used to make the most delicious yogurt pie when I was a kid.
